we got the structure local to us in Central Florida they are two 20x20x10 carports put together. there is extra braces and we replaced the sheets with a thicker gauge on the top. the storage area we extended the roof line with red iron beams and the close it in with the extra sheets we had. we paid about $1500 for each carport but there about 750 more now that price is installed too we modified ours to much for them to install but that is an option.
here is a example of what it looked like befoer we changed it.

Very Nice, I live in MS and they have a place down the road that sells structures like that. Been wanting to get one and yours pushes more in that direction. I also looked into the full blown metal buildings with the bigger metal girders but they are just so expensive, you can get into $20k for a nice size garage. The frame work of your is like 3"x3" or bigger? How high is the roof?
Great Job!

The main pieces of the frame is 2x4 and at the sides it is 10 feet high not sure about the peak. there is also extra bacing all over and we upgraded the roof sheets also and added red iron for the back wall and door side.

here is an update on the shop its pretty much finished inside just organizing things and we still need to make some cabinets. also there is some photos of what we have been working on redesigning two of those cheap pole carports. the frame is finished just have to get the ground finished and through the tarp on. this area will cover the Camper, Pontoon Boat and my SS until the storage area is cleaned out enough to put the SS in there. also threw a picture of my LS6 Intake that im getting ready to put on and I finished my block off plate for the ashtray and it will have an Ipod Dock and my cutout switch. thanks for all the compliments and here are the pictures.
